Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms

A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-directed eruptions occur.
